I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

Woo hoo! A real kei car!

so good

 

[dorian gray]

speaking of Germans, I might go test drive a manual GLI tomorrow just for fun

4, of course. It's illegal to seat more than that in a kei.

I'm really looking forward to it arriving. The GPS navigation is going to be a life-saver.

Is it illegal in Japan to have more than two children?

this car salesman sold this couple 2 Suzuki's AND offered to marry them in his dealership (he is an ordained minister)

Middle America ... man ...

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Well, the amount it costs to raise even one kid here is fucking criminal.

Quatro for the lose

Went to the DMV to get my registration tags. I had gone there on March 26th, paid for my registration, and was unkindly informed that I would have to get a smog check done in order to complete the whole convoluted process. FFWD to today, I spent a good hour waiting alongside the lowest common denominator of man. This was a DMV in the middle of the ghetto which has a high reputation for quick turn around. Well by the looks of the joint, it's due to half of the people getting stabbed while waiting in line. Anyhow, after waiting an arse magnitude of time, I make it to the front, only to be the victim of their servers crashing. Apparently the powers that be figure it a bright idea to refresh all new data during business hours, which causes the majority of 1986 IBM consoles to crash. Some poor 95 year old man looked on the verge of a coronary as he was attempting to decipher what the fuck was going on. After 30 minutes of standing with my thumb up my plum, clowning myself to a tropical island where scantily clad Olympians warm up in thongs for the 500meter pineapple fetch and catch, the system came back online, and I was informed by the cock before me that the smog I paid 70 shekles for had passed the 90 day expiration date. I'm a procrastinator, what can I say? I was expecting these fucks to send me the necessary paperwork and tags during that time frame. Long boring story short, ended up receiving what I needed on account that the system crashed, and I was patient enough to put up with this idiotic broke ass DMV system.

that story sucked

 

[Reign in Acai]

@ you for reading it.

 

[lurch70]

i read your stuff because even if it has 3 words of brilliance it is worth it ...
this one had none ... "arse magnitude of time" came close though

when are you going to start writing pro Jerry you slacker.

 

[Reign in Acai]

when are you going to start writing pro Jerry you slacker.

Heh, that ship has probably sailed. Right before I quit my last job, the team I was on, was merging with the editorial team, could have been my foot in the door. But considering I was barely making 30k there, where as I'm now making not too far from twice as much being a fat fn Blart where I post on the net all day, with ridiculous benefits, I've opted for the slacker route.

 

[lurch70]

write a damn book and shop it ... i am sure you got one in you and your writing is good.

freakin' Sirloin is an English Professor ... you should be a Pulitzer Prize winner

 

[Reign in Acai]

Haha, appreciate the kind words bro, really do. I'll shop it to the publishers south of the Mason-Dixon line.

I never did go test drive that GLI. I read too many VW horror stories and lost interest. Meanwhile there's something wrong with the front end of the subaru...binding AWD, grease explosion, major shimmy at highway speeds...sounds expensive

This will be my last AWD car btw.....totally useless
